Candidates File Disclosures, Worthan has More Than $17,000 On Hand

Douglasville Patch has compiled information from the Campaign Contribution Disclosure Reports (CCDR) for local candidates running in the County elections this year. All disclosures are for the March 31 reporting period. The preferred method of reporting is by online submission, however mailed-in reports are permissible though they cannot be viewed online.

Candidates are required to file a CCDR for the period ending March 31. According to the State's website, the CCDR should be filed between March 31 and April 6 to avoid automatic late filing fees. Information on the CCDR must reflect all activity (contributions and expenditures) or lack of activity through this date.

The following information about cash on hand is from the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission, formerly known as the State Ethics Commission. The information on qualifying fees (the cost to get on the July 31 primary ballot) is from the Douglas County website, www.celebratedouglascounty.com.
